During Crazy 8’s, participants are given a limited timeframe, typically 8 minutes, to individually sketch or jot down as many ideas as possible related to a specific design challenge or problem. The name “Crazy 8’s” derives from the goal of producing eight ideas within this timeframe.

Once the time is up, participants share and discuss their ideas, fostering collaboration and potentially uncovering unique insights that can fuel the design process.
